I don’t know what to put here. In short: Dad. Clemson alum. Canes (NHL) fan. Nintendo supporter. Semi-lapsed wrestling mark. Patiently working my way towards retirement.

Slavin and Chatty were there (not quite as lockdown as they are now) and this was Ghost’s first tour.

Has to be. If my choice is an $85k home at 12% vs $400k at 7.5%, give me the former. I don’t even know how people manage the down payment these days.

2022. Would have been December 23rd because I remember airing grievances on our defense on the way out the door 😅

Wow. Thats a helluva stat. Sidebar: My first in-person game as a “reborn” Canes fan was against PHI where we were crushing them 6-2 until 3 mins left in the game where we forgot how to play defense. Wound up winning 6-5.

Okay apparently it was actually in 2025, BUT, in the last 24 games against the Flyers, the Canes are 22-1-1

Feels bad for buyers and sellers right now. I don’t envy anyone on either side right now.

Sidebar: I was sad to see Shesterskin go down. He was having a good start to the year and it seemed like such of a fluke how he went down.

If my time with Clemson has taught me anything, it’s savor the good times - because they can get real thin, real quick. Though if the Canes go on a decade long run, I will be insufferable.

That’s game. Canes continue to roll. 5-1-1. #RaiseUp

That’s the dagger. 4-1 Canes just under five minutes to go. The team is groovin.

The power play was kinda ass just now, but the zone control after it was over was 👌🏾. Did everything but score. Also, K’Andre continues to affirm my decision to get his jersey. Dude is putting in work.

The Canes penalty kill is so fun to watch (unless you’re a fan of the other team).

Went upstairs to put the kids to bed and missed 2 goals. Thankfully, only one of them was for the Flyers. 3-1 Canes after 2.

Aho to Ghost! That shit was smooth. 2-0 Canes.

I think games as an investment is fools gold. The people most interested in keeping that price moving up are slowly aging out of collecting.

I miss the #NintendoEnthhused days. (I also miss blogging, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.)

I feel all of this. As a Canes fan that doesn’t live in Raleigh, the worst (best) thing they’ve done is give Greensboro an ECHL affiliate. Between the parking, tickets, concessions, and gas to/from Raleigh, I’m content buying the HHN pass, watching the Gargoyles, and calling it a day.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 19h
Same. It’d be a great addition to the collection, but not at the rate of needing to take out a home equity loan. 😅

$16,000. That’s insane. That would cover my mortgage and escrow for a year and leave me a with little play money.

I give the booking credit. They put LA Knight over as much as they could, without actually putting him over.

Semi-related: The current WWE product is cluttered with ads. The ring looks gross with all of the sponsor logos. 9 on the ring. 3 in each turnbuckle corner. Whatever they can screen onto the video screens on the apron and guardrail. Yuck.

I haven’t watched a WWE Championship match in so long. Since MITB is in the ESPN app and it happened to start the show, I’ll take a peek. I’m presuming the outcome is a given though. No chance LA Knight wins the strap.

Final, Anaheim 4, Calgary 2 Flames open 0-5-0 for the first time ever in franchise history. They get the privilege of playing the Ducks again on Tuesday.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 21h
The Flames have an Indian player on their team? Feels like spotting a unicorn.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 21h
Ducks poked one in from in front. Tough break for the Flames. 4-2 with under 3 mins to go.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 21h
Also accurate. Their ranking has been suspect all season.

The replay shows he was clipped by a Flames player. Dude crashed into the goalie/net and definitely messed up something.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 21h
Ducks player scored a shorty but might have given up his knee in the process. 3-2 Ducks.

Just getting caught up on college football… - Texas losing is surprising only because Oklahoma doesn’t have an offense - Oregon lost? Smh - Wake Forest has a legit chance to get a rematch against Miami - Kentucky gave LSU their second loss? Good for them.

Date night was fun. The pretzel crusted pork chops were 👌🏾 and The Great Gatsby was a wonderful train wreck of a musical. Not to lock in for a little hockey. (This Ducks / Flames matchup is a terrible uniform combo.)

Interesting. I’ve probably only focused on 2 games (SMU/State) and overall Louisville is a team I’m glad Clemson is missing this year.

I’m surprised she didn t pull that down

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Oh wow, I didn’t think the defense is that awful (or the QB that good). They are a bit undisciplined at times though.

Louisville?

Agreed. Though I think UL is a better team than that 3-3 record would indicate.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
If he can pull off 7 wins (and beat Clemson), I think he’s safe for another year. Gonna be tough with that schedule though.

Florida got boatraced by both teams from Columbia in back-to-back weeks. That Ole Miss win feels like forever ago. I thought they were going to be about something this year.

Probably N64. We have a surprising amount of retro stores around here - almost none of them have a decent N64 selection.

Me: But there are some teams in the ACC that don’t border the Atlantic. Like Louisville. They’re in KY. 7: That doesn’t make sense. Me: It doesn’t, but it makes more sense than other schools. (Long pause) 7: Does Clemson play schools from West Africa? Me: 🙃 We don’t, but I like the question.

At this point, I start explaining conferences to her. She’s knows where Clemson is and is familiar with the Tobacco Road schools. She understood that your conference mates tend to be schools close to you.
